Dan Shak: 
Phuoc Nguyen: 
The board ran out 
, and Nguyen exuberantly jumped up and clapped, saying "you gotta go," as Shak gathered his belongings.
Shak handled his opponent's celebration well, with his tablemates showing support and telling Nguyen that his celebration and comments were excessive and that he should respect his opponents.
Nguyen said he didn't mean anything by it and apologized, but eyes will definitely be on him in any large future pots.
